So basically I'm making a first level char and want to make him and alchemist type character. Anyone know of things that help me out with alchemy? or just nice basic alchemical items. I'm trying to be as good a alchemist as I can (further more if you know any good classes for this put it as a side note)
thanks all!

Since most alchemical items require touch attacks, anything that can help in that regard would be nice. Still, no reason to go overboard, since you're trying to hit what is often the lowest AC. Point Blank Shot, Far Shot, etc are nice. Quick Draw would be nice too if you have them in a bandoleer or something (watch out for Shatter spells).

PHBII has the feats Grenadier and Mad Alchemist, which are nice.

If you can convince a DM to open it up, Races of Eberron has a Halfling only feat called Shaped Splash.

Races of the Dragon has some neat alchemical weapons.

As to classes, you'll need a casting class since it is required to use Alchemy. I'd take an arcane class and see if I could get the Spell Compendium spell Launch Item approved. It works really well with alchemical weapons.

As mentioned, the fun stuff requries at least on level of a casting class.

Also, consider brew potion somewhere in you're development plan. fluffy & useful :)

Stealth_Ninja,

Please stop spamming this post. You have variations of this question posted on two different boards and are generally getting the same information.

Heck, the link J3st3r posted is to an earlier post of yours.

Although I have threads that are in a few different areas, I am not trying, nor do I think I am spamming. Yes, the information is similar, but in equipement, I'm asking for equipement, in classes, I'm asking for classes, etc. Many people visit only certain catagories, so I'm trying to get as much info as I can. If you don't want to look at the "same" topic, then don't. And yes, jester post was to my own thread. Because he was the only one able to find me a PrC I was chaeking in this on too, sadly that didn't work out.
Although thanks for your input all, and special thanks to Gwenfloor in my other thread. If anyone is looking for alchemical stuff I would suggest you look at the link he gave me.

Stealth_Ninja,

Fair enough, I apologize if it came across as harsh. Just an FYI, but you can probably get most of your answers for an alchemist character build in the Classes section, or hit up the char ops board. You really don't have to spread it around so much.
